The night following the first day in the Entralink was uneventful but when I woke up I found out that Himiko likes to Suck on something while asleep, it turns out my thumb is the perfect nibbling location.
Now She didn't actually bite into me to draw blood but when I was able to wake her up from sucking on my thumb, I found it a tiny bit swollen from her sucking on it.
I could tell she felt embarrassed and sorry for it but, I just chuckled before giving her a big red thumbs up and telling her it was fine.
Once that's over, I make us breakfast before speaking to her more directly.
"Now Himiko, I have a plan, but it might not be the best option but it's the easiest and allows us to prepare for the journey ahead."
Himiko just nods as I continue. "Now as you can guess I'm not like other trainers, I learned by how far off I am in comparison with other trainers yesterday, one big thing is that I can summon things which will help with our journey but it's a one-a-week kind of deal."
Himiko's eyes widen since that sounds like a Pokémon's ability but I'm human, so she's confused.
"Now I've already used this week's summon to get some start-up cash for food and the camp site but for my plan, I have to become strategic with these summons early on. While I have enough food for you and me for a month at most, we could get more efficient with this."
Using my Xtransceiver I open it up and open the second app which turns out to be a Notebook app allowing me to jot down notes.
I use it to start by compiling all the information I remember about the Pokémon franchise, doing this allows me to organize my fragmented memories of everything, it doesn't help that I stopped watching the anime when they went to the France equivalent and stopped playing the games after the United Kingdom equivalent.
I also remember some things about the Spain equivalent and their DLC's but only passing key stuff really, I did read some fan fiction as well but mainly as a nostalgia trip. it's so much easier reading about these adventures than experiencing them outright.
Turning away from the 4th wall, I need to plan my survival and life in this world from now on.
We have the necessities for life in the form of food water and shelter, so the big three are done and Darkrai just gave me an overarching job in this world so finding a job isn't on the agenda for now.
I feel the only necessity from now on would be creating a family and procreation, while the idea of finding a nice girl to settle down with seems enticing, it takes time and if I did go for a lady it would have to be a serious relationship.
But in the Pokémon world, the context of family in that necessity can be squeezed to include a trainer's Pokémon, because what other context could you use to describe those you form a bond with strong enough that they would be willing to fight for you against insurmountable odds.
So, I think I'll do that as my first main goal, but with my current situation I know I can't just go catching Pokémon like a basic trainer, with the power to summon any item that isn't legendary related it means I could do things no other trainer could normally do.
My first thought was to try and be a legendary Trainer, this is mainly due to my knowledge of the locations of most legendaries and some mythical Pokémon that others are unaware of, such as Kyruem in the Great Chasm or Ogrepon in Kitakami, Hell he knows how to access Spear pillar in Sinnoh leading to Arceus, Giratina, Dialga or Palkia, but I felt it was too ambitious in this situation.
My next option was to become a Shiny Hunter. . . The thought came to me when I caught Himiko, but I disregarded it at the time since it seemed ludicrous but factoring in how I can make things like a shiny charm it doesn't become as daunting, I know it was a game item but I'm a bit iffy if it works in real life, but it might be worth it.
Regardless of If I do find another family member for me and Himiko, them being a shiny won't really matter to me as long as they want to go with us.
Compiling my thoughts on the future has helped me sort things out in my head, I also remembered to start a pair notes consisting of lists, one with all the items I can remember, but I know I don't get them all but it's a project going forward, while the other is all the key locations I remember related to legendaries and mythical.
With that done I look up and find a pair of inquisitive eyes on the screen as well, I feel embarrassed since this bookkeeping took longer than I thought it would, Himiko must have gotten bored and curious.
"Sorry Himiko, I was distracted planning, do you want to help?"
Hearing this she nods her head but quickly tilts her head in confusion since how can a being with no hands help type.
"Well, you can help me decide on some things, like since I'm gonna be your trainer how big of a party should I get, things like that."
Himiko eyes blink in recognition before nodding. [If you wanted to make our party bigger, how could you do it?]
Hearing her question some basic ideas come to mind, "well there's the simple capture process of battling someone and then using a Pokéball to capture them, another method would be to ask them like I did with you, another would be an item-based acquisition like with a fossil or something."
Hearing the options, it seems her eyes widen, [Fossil's? I saw a few in the cave but I never thought a Pokémon could come from one.]
Hearing this I chuckle, "Yeah, Human technology is so advanced in this world that it's capable of reviving fossilised Pokémon back to life, actually one of my favourite Pokémon is one of . . . them." after speaking, I realize I'm in a great position to revive one in the future so why not.
Himiko seems to realize that I'm planning to revive one, but she becomes sad since I did just call one of them my favourite.
Seeing this I speak to her, "Don't be sad Himiko, while I did have some favourite Pokémon species before, my new favourites are going to be you and those who join us in our adventure."
Her response is to simply tackle me in the chest and nuzzles me in an affectionate manner.
I just hug her back, once we separate, I make a large decision, Me and Himiko are gonna camp inside the Entralink for at least a week, we're gonna do this so I can regain my summon, When I do I have a plan to make us a lot of money for our journey.
When I tell her about this plan she understands, but then I tell her it means she gets to stay out of her Pokéball all the time and be with me which brightens her up.
After that point, the days seem to settle into a routine, morning starts with making breakfast and some light physical exercises for both me and Himiko.
Mid-day more food then I have her do move training rotating the move she's working on when she seems to get bored.
In the afternoon some physical exercises as well as reflex training for both her and me, mainly since I like the adage you don't get hurt if it never hits you, also the Pokémon world is way more dangerous than it's depicted in the animations or games if you think about it, so I plan to have usable reflexes.
Lastly in the evening no training for Himiko but I do snuggle with her and tell her stories from my past life, it's a middling process since she sometimes needs me to explain words or meanings, but I can tell she loves story time.
We both fall asleep at some point to allow the routine to carry on again the next day, we do this until an entire week passes and I feel the access to the summon again.
I call Himiko over from her training to tell her it's time, at this she zips over and watches with curiosity in her eyes, I myself didn't see the process before because I hid it in the fanny pack, but I summon my planned item in my hands.
In my hands, a Pink Wireframe of the object appears before the frames are filled with black screens which form to fill in the gaps of the pink wire frame, and in a moment, I feel the item's weight as the pink and black light materials fade away to reveal the item in question.
